Small Hours of the Night: Selected Poems of Roque Dalton

'English-only edition of poems written from exile, prison, and on the run by the Salvadoran revolutionary whose life and word urged love as well as change. Selected from 10 of his collections including two posthumous manuscripts, but none are from Poemasclandestinos (1980). The vital force of the intimate, conversational Spanish challenges the translators. Introductory essays by Ernesto Cardenal, Claribel Alegr毃a, and Hardie St. Martin recommend work for the classroom and the general reader'--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
